I completely uninstalled Java following this post. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to reinstall Java.
To reinstall Java, I ran the following command:
$ sudo apt install default-jre
When I now try to check the version of Java with the command
$ java -version
I get the following output:
Command 'java' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install default-jre
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre-headless
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre-headless
However, when (re)running sudo apt install default-jre, I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
default-jre is already the newest version (2:1.11-68ubuntu1~18.04.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Any help on how to reinstall Java after completely uninstalling via this post? I already read many articles on the internet but I am not able to resolve this issue.
The output of the command
$ apt list --installed | egrep 'jdk|jre'
results in:
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
